Figuring Out the Stuff Between the Beginning and the End

Kids Say the Darnedest Things

Throughout my work as a school counselor, I liked to post Facebook status updates which were not actually status updates at all. Instead, they were quotes from the kids I worked with at the elementary school on a daily basis. Some of them are a priceless kind of hilarious. Others are probably only funny to me and the teachers that spent hours upon hours with these children. They’re the quotes that are “you had to be there” kind of funny. Hopefully, you’ll at least find some of these quotes from children to be slightly funny….

When asked to define a pronoun, a 2nd grader responded: “Someone who’s really good at nouns.”

Random 1st grade quote #5: “I’m an Exodus”
Upon hearing this, the teacher and I both looked at each other, confused. The girl then explained that she could write with both hands. So, she was trying to say she was ambidextrous. Totally made sense then.
